That's exactly why I didn't run all my gauge insanity into the cars wiring. I don't mess with the original stuff. My relay is outside of all normal car wiring. If a next owner wants to return it to the three gauge console, I have done no strange things.... just pull my wires and you are good. Don't be a dapo.

QUOTE(Dave_Darling @ Sep 7 2023, 02:51 PM)  QUOTE(windforfun @ Sep 7 2023, 08:37 AM) Why should the voltmeter be a parasitic drain on the battery if it is directly switched off when the car isn't running? If you run the wire directly from the battery, the gauge never switches off. If you use switched power from the stock location, you get the gauge moving when you turn the lights on and off. The goal here seems to be to have the voltmeter reading battery power directly (pretty much) but still switch off when the key is off. QUOTE(windforfun @ Sep 7 2023, 09:44 AM) CTTOI, if what you mean by daisy chaining is connecting the gauge lights in series... Look at the way the stock lights are done. This is daisy-chained. It's all in parallel; the "daisy chain" refers to how the positive wires are chained one to the next. The grounds are all separate, or may be themselves daisy-chained together. --DD Hmm... https://inspectapedia.com/electric/Electric...vs-Parallel.php |

QUOTE(emerygt350 @ Sep 7 2023, 08:33 PM) .. Don't be a dapo. Yeah on the one hand it’s kind of a clever move, to make use of this ignored/hated spot on the fuse board. Especially since this car will never be going back to stock configurations. But you’re right .. a future owner would likely be cussing me at some point! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) it’ll stay as is, thanks. . |
